Really wanted to try this rom because I am not at all happy with Lolipop and want to go to a decent KitKat rom , but the md5 is incorrect on the downloaded file.

I get a return of: 8f9bdf0cdd71e058a5431293d0fff1e6

The md5 listed here and on the download link is : f8cbb977432c96cf35ecbfec343baee5

I learned a long time ago that when the md5 is incorrect, something has changed....

Anyone know whats up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Probably just a bad download, try downloading again.

Edit: Yep, bad download. I just redownloaded and got F8CBB977432C96CF35ECBFEC343BAEE5

Might try a different browser.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Yep you were right.. Thank you. Got a good download with a confirmed md5.

If I understand correctly, I can switch to ktnoonsez kernel for better battery life? If I do that, which kernel do I use?

Are the kernels located in this thread : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2297379

EDIT>>> Nevermind.... for the second time in 24 hours, this rom bricked my phone.... or at the very least, using TWRP to flash it bricked it..... ugh what a pain in the A$$.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
I did not realize it was you in the other thread.

Yes you can use Ktoonsez kernels, but I'm pretty sure he has a thread in the Sprint S4 forums, let me look.

Edit: Kernels are usually in original android dev... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2288309

What version of TWRP are you using? If it's 2.8.5.0, it was pulled from the Sprint S4 downloads due to errors.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
I was using 2.8.4.0 and it worked perfectly for the other 3 roms I have flashed. I just got through ANOTHER Odin back to stock flash, re-root, reinstall TWRP, and then installed Philz 6.15.4 and I am once again hung at the Samsung Galaxy S4 screen..... How long does one have to wait before calling it quits and starting from scratch again.....? I think I am pretty much done with this rom... 3 failed attempts and several hours wasted means I am not meant to run this one I think...

I am doing complete wipes 3 times in a row and then installing the rom (an old habbit from my time with the EVO). I have tried with the stock kernel and with Negs kernel selected and nothing I do will allow me to get to a successful install of this rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
I just installed v.1 using TWRP 2.8.4.0. It took 3 minutes from when it finished installing to get to the setup screen.

Did you wipe your internal SD? If you have been playing with Lollipop ROMs, sometimes you have to wipe internal to go back to KitKat. He has a link for directions on how to use SVN in the OP.

Just because I'm paranoid, does NOT mean they are NOT all out to get me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Man I really appreciate you sticking with me on this one. I am now on a completely stock--BLOATED to hell KitKat rom. It's ok, but there are so many things running in the background dragging this phone down that it is maddening... I just want a basically stock debloated rom to use for a while.... ugh...

Anyway, I am wondering what baseband you are on? I am on OA3, so I wonder if that has anything to do with why you have instant success and I stay in no boot hell....

By the way, YES I have wiped everything (factory reset, internal sd, caches etc) 3 times each before I flash...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
P.S. I was able to download and install SVN and copy the link from the OP and download everything using SVN and the supplied link, but when I use "NegaZip-SVN_2.3.exe" to zip up the contents, there is an error at the end.... in red writing that disappears too fast for me to tell you what it says.... There is a "negalite-wonderom.zip" file left in the folder that is 1.13gb in size.... is that the flash-able zip file I am supposed to use ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jmin9012:
Just reporting that Negalite is running buttery smooth on NK1 on Triband version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
No problem. It's got me curious.

Yes on OA3. I don't remember any red text flashes at the end, and I think that's the name of the zip. I remember renaming mine and it's the same name with a -3 on the end.

Here's the MD5 for my v.3. 71E3E064EF41A13AA2DD7D0FD276CCC0

Edit: Is that a typo, mine is 1.31 GB not 1.13

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 PM ----------

You could try wiping cache and dalvik after you flash the ROM and before you reboot. That has helped me on Lollipop ROMs.

You could also try flashing Ktoonsez kernel after you flash the ROM and before you reboot.

Damn, it should work, the way your doing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Ok did you leave EVERYTHING in the "applications_optional" and "applications_optional_system" folders? Or did you debloat it even further before you flashed it? There is a LOT of crap in those 2 folders that I will never use, and if it is optional for me to remove what I want, I would like to... HOWEVER if all of those apps are there so you can choose DURING the flash, then I understand they need to stay in those folders..... Let me know.

P.S. leaving everything exactly as downloaded and zipping it up, your md5 and mine are not even close...

Here is mine: ee42640b1125cef673b96a9301519663

I did however remove the md5.exe from the folder so that might have something to do with the mismatch...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
Yep, I remember thinking the same thing about all those extra apps. But I left them and I am pretty sure it does not do anything with them if you don't choose to install them.

I did not worry about them too much, because these S4's have a 2.7 GB System partition. As long as they are not running, who cares.

Yeah, any change to the zip file will give a different MD5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rek410:
OK so I tried everything again from scratch and wiped completely clean,

flashed to the MJA modem again

then installed the ROM with the modded kernel instead of stock

then installed the wifi fix

then booted up

.... long delays then the wifi works but if I try to switch to another wifi connection there are long langs and FC happened twice.

rebooted again into recovery, reflashed the wifi fix, rebooted again into the ROM

.... now the wifi won't activate again, just sits at "turning on" and nothing happens....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Just for info sake, I am running full mf9 firmware and everything works. I actually had some issues when I did the mja without boot loader install. At one point I odined back to full stock mf9 and just flashed this Rom. Have not seen where I'm missing out on anything by not having the mja modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rek410:
Yeah, I originally flashed while at MF9 (I was on the previous version of this ROM with no problems) and thought the problems were due to the modem.

I'm going flash back to MF9 and downgrade to the older version of the ROM :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] socos25:
After taking my phone out of the box I had to root, it must be done. Then I looked around and saw this ROM, looks nice a purdy blue. Working very well so far, no complaints. With the kudos out of the way. . .

Where can I find the Mk2 modem, or is that not available as a flashable zip yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
New update! Thanks everyone for your feedback. fixed/added all requests :)

As far as I can tell. The modem is still MJA in MK2.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] evofreak80:
Hey I just got my s4 last night and it's on 4.3 is it still possible to root it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
Yes!. just use odin to flash a recovery in download mode, then flash a custom rom using the recovery. it's as simple as that :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] evofreak80:
Sweet can wait to flash this cause I've ran your room back when I had my evo 3D which actually I still have and still running good
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
Awesome! I remember :) Welcome to the amazing s4 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dyep8ball03:
Not sure if you would know how or if it is even possible, but the wifey just got a verizon s4, is there any way to convert/port this to work on a verizon phone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Suggestions?

Nega do you have any suggestions on which kernel to install? Im a Kt. fan but should i use the stock custom with this or stick to what i know? And can i just fish like all the others or are there other steps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
I'm sure there is a way. I just have never tried it, personally.

No recommendation really. I switch back and forth(for testing purposes) but I do prefer KT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] evofreak80:
Hey guys just thought I ad this, now mind u I'm still unrooted stock just got my s4 yesterday lol. I hope after I flash nega that I'll have the same if not better battery life
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Thank you sir. Great job by the way r20 is a beast but I'm sure you know. LOL.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
Thank you very much, brother! I think r24 is the best yet ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] btoddweber:
R20? I see r27...am I OK with that? Also what are the install instr if have cwm? The same? Dont see install new ROM in recovery
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Goat1378:
Best yet? wow i don't see how! Battery life alone ...for me anyway was awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] negamann303:
r27 would be from an old version. I know it's confusing but the latest is mk2-r24. MJA and MK2 require Philz recovery only! And guess what? The LATEST PHILZ HAS WORKING DATA BACKUP/RESTORE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Well as fate would have it I am writing this to you from my Negalite encrusted S4 !!!!! I compiled a new zip with everything as downloaded and it flashed perfectly!

Had a couple of issues like the keyboard would not stay active while i was in the play store.... it kept force closing until I opened up my text messaging application and then went back to Google Play but other than that very few issues so far.

I also flashed ktoonsez kernel and will see how it works out. .

Thank you for your time and effort brother. ... i really appreciate it! !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
Anyone figure out why the setting menu in the pull down toggles section causes a force close and you can NOT modify the arrangement of the pull down toggles themselves>?

Yeah Settings closes on me also.

Update baseband from NG5 to OA3

I see that some people are using this rom on the Triband S4 (SPH-L720T) with the OA3 baseband without problem. Have you guys updated the baseband while on this rom or updated before coming to this rom?

I'm looking to update my baseband from NG5 to OA3 via ODIN (as directed in the All Things SPH-L720T OP), and I'd just like to see if anyone else has had success while having this rom installed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] fuzzybuffalo:
To be honest I don't remember if I updated to OA3 before or after installing this ROM, but it should not matter.

Most custom ROM's do not mess with the baseband / modem / radio or the bootloader. So it is safe to Odin flash or flash from recovery your baseband, either up or down.

If you Odin flash a stock image it will replace your baseband and bootloader, and you can not go down with your bootloader, that will brick your phone.

This ROM was my daily driver for awhile, but it does replace your custom recovery with Philz custom recovery, since Philz is no longer supported I suggest using the latest TWRP.

And I have found a new daily driver ROM, check this ROM out. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-sprint/development/rom-wicked-x-v9-0-t3086132

It is also for the L720, but runs great on my L720T without any modifications.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Samsungmobile:
I'm not sure why but when I do certain things the phone lags to the point where it seems like it locked up or just plain not responding I'm not sure if it's a rom issue or something else?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
What are the "certain things"? If they are CPU heavy tasks that's somewhat normal, also when installing apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Samsungmobile:
How can I find out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bilgerryan:
Sat what it is, monitor your CPU when performing the tasks, monitor your RAM when performing the task.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Samsungmobile:
I'm guessing I can use the system monitor app to check I have noticed however when the phone gets hot as in being in the sun or the battery is getting low (20% and under) it runs pretty slow.

That's how the sun works lol

I've been using this for two days with no issues, running pretty well. I haven't had the phone long enough to really get a feel for anything else, however, one issue cropped up on me this morning after rebooting from updating a Xposed module. My wi-fi will no longer turn on.

It is very possible the new release last night will fix this issue, but prior to updating this module and rebooting wi-fi had worked pretty well. I just wanted to throw it out there. I will report back after I update to the latest.

I upgraded to r24 and wi-Fi connects, obtains an IP, but then just keeps cycling like that. Anyone else experiencing this?

It is an odd stituation. Last night my wi-fi was working fine, after a reboot, no wi-fi at all, it wouldn't even turn on.

Upgarde to r24, it turns on, but just keeps cycling.

Ran into both of those issues, last night wifi got stuck at "Turning on", but would never turn on. Upgraded to r24 today and now I just get Connecting, Authenticating, Obtaining IP, over and over again.

One other oddity. At work we have an unsecured Wi-Fi for visitors and I can connect to that just fine. Secured is a no go.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dkpaladin:
Same here again. Seems to be specific to PEAP (WPA2-Enterprise). I just setup a little router and tried unsecured, WEP, WPA, and WPA2 and was able to connect on all of them. Tried connecting to two different PEAP networks with different settings and failed on both.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rckozma:
I'm on r24 now, wi-fi is working. I know that when I have had the issue it has been because of either wanam xposed being updated (which required me to reload the rom) or when updating the rom the cache's were not wiped (cache partition and dalvik). Something to try, it you haven't already.

I also want to thank Nega for including swype back into his roms....I just could not get used to the samsung keyboard...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Yea that seems to be a problem across all the mja roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] dkpaladin:
I am noticing that. However I did not have the issue connection on r22 (but I did have wifi turn off and refuse to turn back on). So far the Stock rooted MJA Rom and r22 are the only ones that have been able to connect to PEAP with.

yeah i backed up my stock rooted mja rom o phils recovery and i factory rest it then the clean for a new rom and i went to install and i did my preferred settings and the first time it wouldnt boot up i stayed at the blurry dots screen then i fresh installed again and it booted but the battery drain was really weird i have kt kernel also ..

he wipes data, cache and system individually.

I personally just choose "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then "Clean to Install a New ROM" in philz. sometimes I reboot recovery after then install, but most of the time I install immediately after.

I may also add that some users wipe each partition multiple times before installing

thanks for the kick ass roms. this is hands down the best rom for the sprint s4.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] CyberpodS2:
Just delete data for xposed, reboot and install again. Hot boot it and check off all the modules again. Hot boot it again and all should be back to the should.
